    Small solar system

    If it’s in float mode I think it’s around 14.2 but under load it goes down to 13v mostly down to 12.something if I’m using a lot of stuff in the shed. your very lucky u caught that mistake before it cooked your battery, I haven’t touched my cc and battery since I hooked everything up.

    How do I go about figuring out the charging voltage? the panel and the cc haven’t been disconnected. I’ve been reading ther under load the battery acid expands and could leak if it is too full. I should open the lids on top and take a look at it tomorrow. my output voltage is 17.1 from my...

    Yes I think it boiled out. I tried to fill them up to the bottom of the top plate like everyone says, but maybe I put in too much? the battery was brand new from wall mart it was a deep cycle 80ah. My system is 1 12v panel 150watts. I don’t know when they started leaking it was one day where I...

    I have a flooded lead acid battery, when I first got it I opened it up and added distilled water to it. I put it under load and it ended up leaking water out. I’m wondering if I should take some water out and how would I go about doing that?

    I don’t have all my loads on switches so when I turn everything off I can see that I’m using 0.1-0.2 amps. I was wondering if this is bad for my battery’s considering the “c” rating and all. Should I buy a kill switch to turn everything off or is this amp draw nothing?

    Ya that’s what I’m kind of trying to stick with. But your right as soon as I turn everything off it goes up a little. The article I posted says to never below 11.6v but that seems very low for me.

    I’ve been reading about this and I just found out that under load and no load the batter v cutoff Is different. Does anyone have any input on this? Iu usually cut off at 12v under load.

    So you believe 12.06v is 50%? What did you set your cutoff to?

    Ya I’ve been reading about it for the past few days and it seems the load connection is productive very small amps. Don’t know why my cc company doesn’t state that in the manual. Ive been reading about low voltage disconnect lately and can’t seem to find the right answer. I have a deep cycle...

    Hello everyone this is my first post I’ll try and keep it short and simply. I built a system for my shed and I built it to wills YouTube video the one where he builds a 200 watt system. my question is he didn’t use the last two outputs on his charge controller for load. He ran the batter to the...
